The Motorola Moto E was an integral part of the rumor mill in April. Its specifications were leaked, suggesting it could be the device that the company is going to announce at its May 13 event. Thanks to Indian import data website Zauba, the price of the company's upcoming affordable smartphone has popped up. A total of 1300 Moto E smartphones were shipped on May 3 in Bangalore, India with a total value of $137,017 (INR 8,229,293). This makes up for a wholesale price per unit of $105 (INR 6,330). Naturally, the price of the unit won't be so low, as it's likely retailers will add up a bit on top. We would speculate that the final price of the phone will be around the $120 mark, but we'll find out for sure on May 13, when Motorola has promised to unveil its phone that is "priced for all." For that price, the Moto E is said to offer a 4.3" display with an unknown resolution (possibly sub-720p), a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of memory, which is likely expandable. At the back, there's going to be a 5MP camera and a 1,900mAh battery. The phone packs an FM Radio and runs Android 4.4 KitKat. Further on, the leaked specifications suggest the Moto E measures 124.8 x 64.8 x 6.2mm, which is truly impressive considering the Moto X and the Moto G are 10.4mm and 11.6mm thick, respectively.
